| Usain Bolt |
JUST as quick as he has been on the track, Jamaica's sprint legend Usain Bolt wasted no time in pledging $1 million, through his foundation, to assist children displaced by an early morning fire at Walker's Place of Safety in St Andrew Tuesday morning.
The Usain Bolt Foundation, which was established in 2011, targets children in need.

Chairman of the foundation, Winsome Wilkins, said Bolt was moved by the tragedy at the home, which saw two wards of the State being killed and another 34 displaced.
She said that the Foundation, which is dedicated to the legacy of happy children and to enhance their educational and cultural development, was chosen by Bolt as the best vehicle through which he would show his support for those who have suffered.
Wilkins said preparations were being made to have the donation handed over early next week to the Child Development Agency by Bolt. more
